"With
Math How You Start Determines How You Finish!"It's

Math An Exciting Adventure For Your Child
FromKindergarten
Right Through Elementary
SchoolAnd
Beyond.

Play is absolutely foundational toChild's Play Maths-
Children discover math is
creative and fun. Concepts
are acquired through
play, games and open-ended
challenges.
e.g.
Number Bonds, Pre-Algebra, Addition,
Subtraction, Multiplication,
Division, Fractions, Pattern,
Sequences etc. Child's Play Math is designed to teach math concepts to children aged 5 to 11. Because they are introduced to math concepts through a creative medium (Cuisenaire rods) they already associate with enjoyment math will hold no fears for them. Instead they will encounter a rich world of pattern and relationship waiting to be explored. The program will become their guide to a world of self-discovery.

Create your own starship. . .

The Cuisenaire Rods Software App was created to simulate not replace the physical rods. The tactile nature of the rods cannot be replicated by software. The rods are also effective with children who have little or no sight as they become very proficient in recognising the rods by touch alone.The software is however an excellent teaching aid and is also another creative tool for children. The tutorial section of almost every video unit has been created using the software. The Video Tutorials follow the program outlined in the Child's Play Maths full color manual.

Embraces All the 'Learning Styles'- Child's Play Mathsteaches universal
math concepts in a way
that is totally
child-centered. Young children
are predominantly Kinesthetic/Tactile
learners andthe program embraces all the 'learning styles'. The program is designed to reflect the way young children learn best. In their book "The Scientist in the Crib" Alison
Gobnik, Ph.D, Andrew N. Meltzoff, Ph.D, and Patricia K. Kuhl, Ph. D, describe
this capacity for learning:

"Walk
upstairs, open the door gently, and look in the crib. What do you see?Most of us see
a picture of innocence and helplessness, a clean slate. But, in fact, what we
see in the crib is the greatest mind that has ever existed, the most powerful
learning machine in the universe."

Tailored
To Your Unique Child - Children learn at their own pace.
They are never held back or
pushed beyond their current
ability level. Because of this children’s
learning is invariably
accelerated compared to
children exposed to more
traditional and formal
methods. Children engaged with the program are frequently observed to enter what professor Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi describes as the 'flow state' - where children are so totally absorbed in what they are doing they are oblivious to anything or anyone else - and not an X-Box in sight!!!

Supports
Language Development –
The program assists your child's language
development. It teaches your child
how to 'read' and 'write'
simple to complex math sentences
(algebraic equations)
based on their own creations. It teaches them left to right orientation and also the most important function of language - the power to express ideas in written form and words.

The Power of Color– Children
enjoy the visual impact of their creations that enable them to ‘see’
mathematical patterns and concepts. Because 90% of our information intake is
visual this feature
is very important. Edison and Einstein were visual
learners. Color,
one of the key elements
of the program and software, is a
powerful
aid to memory recall and classification. More use should be made of color in children's learning - think Mind Maps.

Incidental Learning– Much information
is unconsciously acquiredas we listen to T.V. advertisements etc. As
children play with the
rods they are unconsciously absorbing mathematical
concepts(like
number bonds to 10) and enjoying the experience immensely. That is why play is foundational to the program. At whatever age or level children are working they must be given free time to play.

Learn How To
Learn- Child's Play Mathsis far more than an an
innovative math program. Because it isbased on the latest research
into how the the brain learns bestit actually teaches thinking
skills andhelps your child
learn how to learn.Children will easily understand
the concepts behind Pythagoras' Theorem from
an early age because they are
introduced naturally using a
play-based hands on
approach.

The
Perfect
Recovery Program- Older children and adultshave used Child's Play Maths toacquire an understanding and
love of math they never discovered the first time round.
In the UK the program gained
an accreditation from the
Open College Network to
be used as a recovery math
program for adults. Many were amazed at the rich world of pattern and relationship that opened up for them and even angry that they had been kept in ignorance of the secret and beautiful universe of mathematics.

Banish 'Math Anxiety' - Math is the one subject that causes more stress in school and the home than any other. 'Math anxiety' is now a recognised condition. Even Carl Gustav Jung the renowned Swiss psychiatrist who founded Analytical Psychology was not immune:

"The teacher pretended that algebra was a
perfectly natural affair, to be taken for granted, whereas I didn't even know
what numbers were. Mathematics classes became sheer terror and torture to me. I was so intimidated by my incomprehension that I did not dare to ask any
questions."

Tutorial Videos are available from SchoolhouseTeachers.com (members only) to support each Unit. There are over 60 videos in total arranged sequentially in a step by step approach. But such is the nature of the program that children will progress at their own rate via their own distinct route.

Struggling or Gifted Students will benefit from using the program because the nature of the practical activities challenge them to progress whatever their current ability or level of development.

About Me - I am a retired primary head teacher from Wales UK with a passion for helping children learn. I was particularly concerned at the way so many struggled at math and determined I would find a better way for the children in my care. Child's Play Math is the fruit of years of practical research and is designed to complement the way children learn best. I have stood on the shoulders of educational giants like Cuisenaire, Gattegno and Goutard and sincerely believe this program represents the best way of introducing and teaching math to children and adults.

Tara M. -This is SOOOOO comprehensive. I have not gone through the whole book, but what I have viewed is superb.January 10, 2016

Siohoua H. -Love this,Well done.August 25, 2015Eugenia B. -I love this approach to teaching math with my special needs students. I've been using the rods for awhile now and it was great to see the "rod" math broken down into units.May 12, 2014Megan K. - Good resource.February 4, 2015Joanne G. - Great resource. Thank you!November 19, 2014

Chanda A. - Great for center and small group instructions. Thanks!August 2013

Old Schoolhouse Magazine Review

This is a wonderful program for a visual learner. On the preschool level, it gets the child ready for math by just providing play time with the rods, enabling the child to visualize sizes and comparable amounts - leading to addition. The curriculum teaches vocabulary (letter names and color names for the rods} and refers to this as "algebra before arithmetic." If the child uses the rods and learns the concepts from the beginning, the program builds into addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, algebra etc.I highly recommend this product and the ingenious approach to math.

The complete set of Part One of the Child's Play Math Video Tutorials - over 4 hours of bite sized video tutorials - is now available. Get them together with the 29 Power Point presentations and the Child's Play Math Book One Manual(PDF) for only $17

"Why am I doing this?"

Because I sincerely believe Child's Play Maths is the best program available for introducing math to children.You are just a decision away from opening the door for your child to an amazing world of pattern and relationship, that like Lucy, they never knew existed.

I am passionate about helping children learn the way that frees their infinite learning potential.If you are not happy with the program for any reason just email me at phil@helpyourchildsucceed.com and I'll happily refund the cost via Pay Pal.If you have any questions or comments I will respond ASAP.
